Kids Tennis Pricing in North Ryde: Full Cost Breakdown Plus the Active Kids Voucher
Working out what kids tennis actually costs at Tennis World North Ryde means looking at four separate things: weekly Hot Shots class fees, the more advanced Squads program, private coaching, and school holiday camps, plus how the NSW Active Kids Voucher applies to each. Here's the full picture in one place, including a voucher eligibility detail that catches out more families than you'd expect.
What kids tennis actually costs at a glance
There's no single "kids tennis price" at Tennis World North Ryde, cost depends on which program and stage your child is in. Hot Shots group classes run from $29 to $48 per week depending on stage, Squads sits at $36 per week for a more advanced 2-hour session, private coaching starts from $121 for a single 60-minute session, and school holiday camps range from $70 for a half day to $330 for a full week. The Active Kids Voucher can reduce the cost of any of these by $50 per voucher, up to $100 per child per year.
Hot Shots weekly pricing by stage
Hot Shots fees are charged per session via direct debit, there's no large upfront term payment required:
| Stage | Price | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Stage | $29 | 30 min |
| Red Stage | $36 | 60 min |
| Orange Stage | $40 | 60 min |
| Green Stage | $40 | 60 min |
| Green Ball 2 | $46 | 90 min |
| Yellow Stage | $44 | 60 min |
| Ace Squad | $48 | 90 min |

Squads pricing (beyond Hot Shots)
Squads is a separate program from the Hot Shots stage progression, aimed at intermediate-to-advanced players who are more serious about competing rather than a natural "next stage" after Ace Squad. It runs as a 2-hour session, Tuesdays or Thursdays 4pm to 6pm, at $36 per week, a lower per-week rate than some Hot Shots stages despite the longer session length, so it's worth checking directly with our team on current placement criteria rather than assuming it follows straight on from Ace Squad.
Private coaching pricing
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Single 60-minute session | $121 |
| 5-pack (60-minute sessions) | $572 |
| 10-pack (60-minute sessions) | $1,040 |
| 30 and 45 minute sessions | Ask our team for current pricing |
All packages expire within 6 months of purchase. Our full guide to private coaching covers when it's worth adding alongside Hot Shots and when it isn't necessary yet.
School holiday camp pricing
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Full week (5 days) | $330 |
| Full week (4 days) | $264 |
| Full day | $90 |
| Half day | $70 |
| After-care (per day) | $16 |
Camp pricing is set per school holiday period, the figures above reflect the current session. Our full camps guide covers what's included, full day versus half day, and current dates.
What's not included in any of these prices
Across every program, a few things are consistently not included in the class or session fee:
- Your child's own racquet. Loan racquets are provided for trials and camps, but not for ongoing Hot Shots enrolment.
- Tennis shoes. Not supplied by us for any program.
- Food or snacks at camps beyond what's available at the kiosk.
Our Kids Tennis Equipment Guide covers what you'll actually need to budget for separately.
The Active Kids Voucher: how it actually works
The NSW Active and Creative Kids Voucher is a government rebate, not a discount we set. Each voucher is worth $50, and eligible families can claim up to two per child per year, one from 15 January (valid to 31 December) and one from 15 July (valid to 14 July the following year), for a possible $100 total per child annually. You apply for the voucher directly through Service NSW, not through us, and then use it against an eligible activity with a registered provider like Tennis World North Ryde. This is why our Kids Tennis Classes page mentions "$50" and our Squads page mentions "$100", both are accurate, they're just describing a single voucher versus the full annual total.
Active Kids Voucher eligibility, including the age catch parents miss
To qualify, your child needs to be a NSW resident aged between 4.5 and 18, and you (as the applying parent or guardian) need to currently receive, or have received in the current or previous financial year, Family Tax Benefit Part A or Part B. Only one person can apply per child.
How to apply your voucher
Apply for the voucher directly through Service NSW (via the Service NSW app or your MyServiceNSW account), then email the voucher to us before you register or re-enrol, the discount needs to be applied during enrolment rather than claimed afterward. This applies the same way whether you're using it against Hot Shots, Squads, camps, or private coaching, as long as the enrolment happens after you've sent the voucher through.
Common pricing questions and mistakes
- Assuming one voucher covers a full year of fees. A $50 voucher (or $100 across both annual vouchers) offsets part of the cost, it isn't designed to cover an entire term or year of Hot Shots.
- Trying to apply the voucher after enrolling instead of before. The voucher needs to be emailed through and applied at enrolment, applying retroactively generally isn't possible.
- Assuming every Hot Shots stage is voucher-eligible regardless of age. As above, the youngest Blue Stage children may fall under the 4.5 age minimum.
- Not checking Family Tax Benefit eligibility first. The voucher is tied to the parent or guardian's Family Tax Benefit Part A or Part B status, not just the child's age, families outside that eligibility won't qualify regardless of the child's age.
- Assuming camp and private coaching pricing are covered by the same class fee as Hot Shots. They're each priced and billed separately, an Active Kids Voucher can be applied to any of them individually, but a Hot Shots enrolment doesn't automatically include a camp week or private sessions.
Summary
Kids tennis pricing at Tennis World North Ryde spans four separate programs: Hot Shots ($29 to $48 per week by stage), Squads ($36 per week), private coaching (from $121 per session), and school holiday camps ($70 to $330 depending on length). The NSW Active Kids Voucher can offset any of these by $50 per voucher, up to $100 per child per year, but only for children aged 4.5 and over whose family receives Family Tax Benefit Part A or B, and only when applied at enrolment rather than afterward. Checking your child's exact eligibility before budgeting saves a surprise at sign-up.
